Straightforward Buildmark activation

The Conveyancing Portal design is based on feedback from the industry and offers a number of enhancements to ensure the new system is:

More intuitive

We’ve improved the management of case allocations and upgraded system user management tools.

More efficient

Data supplied to us from the builder will be automatically uploaded to Conveyancing Portal enabling your teams to simply validate client data rather than re-key builder-supplied plot information.

Quicker

Your teams will now be automatically notified as soon as a cover note is available and endorsements will be visible prior to a certificate being produced.

What you need to do...

Already registered with MBA? Your details will have automatically been moved from MBA into the new system, all you need to do is create a new password. New to Conveyancing Portal? Simply click on the button below and register your details.

How does it work?

STEP

1

Plot registration

When a plot is registered with us, we send the builder/developer a policy number and an activation code. They can also access Conveyancing Portal via their own account to obtain this information if required.

STEP

2

Policy numbers and activation codes

The data supplied to us from the builder will be automatically uploaded to the Conveyancing Portal, so all the conveyancer needs is the client's email address to access their case.

Otherwise, the builder/developer forwards the policy number and activation code to the plot purchaser's conveyancer.

STEP

3

Access plot details

The conveyancer goes online and logs in to their secure Conveyancing Portal account and uses the policy number and activation code to access plot details to check that cover is in place before exchange of contracts / exchange of missives.

STEP

4

Exchange of contracts / exchange of missives

The conveyancer uses the system to notify us when exchange of contracts / exchange of missives takes place and updates the purchaser's details which will activate the deposit insurance protection (section 1) available under the Buildmark policy.

STEP

5

Legal completion / date of entry

The conveyancer uses the system again to notify us when legal completion / date of entry takes place and activates the Buildmark policy on behalf of the buyer.

STEP

6

Insurance certificate available for download

NHBC will validate the completion information. Once approved, the insurance certificate and associated documents will be available to download.

STEP

7

Home User Guide (HUG)

Once we have received the purchaser’s details we will send them an invitation to sign up to NHBC Home User Guide (HUG). It’s important to remind your purchaser that this is where they acknowledge their Buildmark policy.
